Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
The word sounds like surgery, does it not? It sounds like surgery because it is surgery. The Word of God is operating on your thinking right now. It is operating on your feelings. It is operating on your family heritage — how your grandmother went at 84, how your uncle made it to 82, and everybody assumed that was the ceiling.
John 6:63 adds the second blade to that sword: “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
The words are spirit. The words are life. That means when you speak the Word of God over your body and over your future, you are not speaking something natural — you are releasing something spiritual into the physical realm. Your body will change according to your word.
Psalm 139:23 says, “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.”
We need to be searched today. Because the thoughts we have been thinking about our age, about our expiration date, about how much longer we have — many of those thoughts have been planted by the world system, by secular medicine, by what we have watched happen to the people around us. And those thoughts are the very thing the Word is now cutting out.
The proper surgery requires a separation. If you go by your soul, you are not going to win. If you go by your mind, you are not going to win. If you go by your imagination or your conscience, you are not going to win — because all of them have been improperly conditioned. They have been shaped by what they heard and saw in the world system. But the Word of God divides between soul and spirit. It gets down to where the real you lives — in your spirit — and it speaks to you there. And in your spirit, there is no age limit. In your spirit, there is no retirement. In your spirit, there is no ceiling — because God is in there, and God has no ceiling.
So right now, in this word operation, what is being removed is the wrong thinking. What is being removed is the early death mentality, the winding-down mentality, the I-have-lived-my-life mentality. And what is being inserted is the kingdom mindset — the thinking that says: God said 120 years, and I am going to believe God for 120 years. Not because it feels comfortable. Not because everyone around me agrees. But because God said it. And God backs His word up. He said, “My word will not return to me void. It will accomplish what I sent it out to do.” Today, He is sending His Word into you.
